Looking ahead to next year, Supra will be releasing three

sets

of shoes each featuring the Trinity, Skytop and Strapped models for

Spring 2009.

The burgundy patent pack pictured above is my

favorite of the three. The glossy deep patent leather is a nice

contrast to the stark white midsole. The other two color schemes

include a bronze full grain leather and grey tie dye, also in all

three models. I’m not thrilled with the grey version but these

are just preliminary pictures so I’ll wait to see more.

I’m sure

that we’ll be learning more and seing detailed images of these

shoes in upcoming months. Via Sneaker Files and Adequate

Nike has collaborated with Japan’s fleece specialist, Loopwheeler

, to design this Blazer High. The entire shoe upper is in Loopwheeler

fleece. The purple Nike Swoosh looks attractive as an accent. The

shoe lace holes are set into reinforced black leather. The shoe lace

is black and the long row of lacing makes the shoe look good. The

tongue is in the same grey color as the rest of the shoe upper.

There is a blacked colored Nike tag with a blue colored “Nike” at

the tip.

Krazy Bear Kicks created a pair of Nike Vandals for an upcoming display at San Diego’s Milo Shoes and Gallery. This gallery promotes sneaker collections from local, regional and national designers to tourists and shoe aficionados. Readers need to know this background to understand the design elements used by Krazy Bear to create these Nike Vandals.

It was clear that the designer was using these customs as a medium to show off his painting, drawing and composition skills. The gray elephant skin print used on the toe box and heel show Krazy Bear’s preference for simple touches. Flashes of color are displayed with the red flames and electric blue panel beneath the Nike swoosh. This submission by Krazy Bear Kicks goes a long way toward showing the designer’s skills and philosophy on shoe design.
